The Buccaneers have every incentive to trade up in the 2021 NFL Draft.

As the 2021 NFL Draft approaches, many people see the Buccaneers as a viable candidate to trade out of the first round to acquire more overall picks. While this is par for the course for reigning champs, the Bucs are in a unique position where this actually does not help.

Looking ahead to the final roster decisions, the Bucs may only be able to afford to roster three to four rookies on their active roster by the start of the season.
